McCauley Genealogy & History

McCauley is an Irish and Scottish name with several possible origins. It could be derived from the Gaelic Mac Amhalghaidh, which means son of Amhalgaidh, an ancient Irish given name. Alternately, its origin may be the Gaelic Mac Amhaidh, meaning son of Amlaib, which was derived from the Old Norsh given name Aleifr or Olaf. In any event, McCauley family history is first recorded with one Iwar McAulay (an alternate spelling), who lived in Scotland in 1326. McCauley genealogy includes Matthey McCauley, an Emmy-winning composer and producer of records. The McCauley family motto is dulce periculum, which means danger is sweet.
